Bear with me, I will figure this out eventually!!!

A couple of notes here about the last post...I DID IT BACKWARDS!!!!! Sorry you gotta start at the bottom and work you way up for it to make sense. I forgot how the order of the pics was going to come out until I hit publish...silly me! Also we had to pull up all of the bushes that surrounded the house because they were rotting the wood so until the hydrangeas come in that I planted it's gonna look pretty bare I'm afraid.

3 porches, 2 gallons of paint and 1 BEAST

How I feel now that I can sit on my freshly painted porches and relax!

THE BEAST!!!

porch #3 very small and a great place to hide when I need to!

Porch #2 and my impulse painting of the iron railing that I want replaced with wooden posts!

The laundry tub will hold our firewood for the winter

Glue gone paint down!!!

probably about bucket #4 of the horrible glue!

The horrible glue...

See the red rug? I have wanted it gone for 3 1/2 years now!!

I've been wanting to post this for awhile now, meaning this job wouldn't have taken the whole week! We painted our house this summer - by ourselves - that's important to know because we live in an old 3 story victorian and it was a huge job (especially when you consider that two of the painters HATE TO PAINT!!! We're not entirely crazy though and we are hiring out the third story to a professional in the spring. Anyway I digress... the porches were still not done because of a number of things that kept getting in the way , mostly the weather, but not this past week!We had the most wonderful warm week just right for finishing the job. Another obstacle was the red outdoor carpet that was glued down on the main porch. I think when the previous owners went to the store to get the supplies they figured if 1 tub of glue was good then 5 was better! So my 17 year old son and I tore up the rug and then I used a beast of a machine called a GRINDER yep that's right to get the glue up. These pictures are the results...

Thank you to all of the brave men and women past and present who sacrificed so much for our freedom. God bless you all.~Theresa xoxo photo courtesy of The Vintage Moth
